Headphones in, volume up. Here is a montage of the exhaust clips from the 2016 Alfa Romeo 4C equipped with a 1.7-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with a Sports Exhaust ($500) that essentially removes the muffler.

The 4C drones at high speeds but emits the most lovable farts on upshifts, and at wide open throttle you’ll hear the turbocharger go overtime with whooshes and whines. In fact, there is so much drama coming from behind the driver’s ears that it's like the entire symphony went out of sync and started rap battling with their instruments. Hence, the sports exhaust is a must have option – isn’t the whole point of a convertible to have front row seats to the pipes?
